Scratch and Taste Your Way to the Ultimate Foodie Experience

Dinner at World Class Restaurant and Napa Valley Resort Stay are Top Prizes

Ask any serious foodie and they’ll tell you exactly what the Napa Valley’s The French Laundry is all about. Nope, it’s not a fancy Laundromat. The French Laundry is considered one of the top 50 gourmet restaurants in the world, and now California Lottery players have a chance to taste what it’s all about.

The California Lottery simply purchased a Black Card Experience from The French Laundry and is not in partnership with or affiliated with the restaurant. Any questions regarding this promotion should be directed to the California Lottery at 1-800-LOTTERY or check out the promotion’s microsite atwww.calottery.com/UltimateFoodie

For a chance to win this gastronomic prize, all you have to do is purchase the Lottery’s Emerald 10’s Scratchers game (image below). Now, take a photo of yourself clearly showing off the Emerald 10’s Scratchers ticket, send us that photo with the best caption you’ve ever written telling us who you’d share this exceptional dinner with and why. You must do this and not exceed 500 characters (not words). Don’t worry; our submission program won’t let you go past 500 characters. It’s that easy! Send your original photo with the caption to www.calottery.com/UltimateFoodie. You can also find out all of the promotion’s details at that website. This promotion begins today (January 5, 2015) and ends January 30, 2015. The winner will be announced by Valentine’s Day.

This dining event for two starts off with a bottle of champagne, and then enjoy an amazing 18-course tasting menu paired with wines selected by the restaurant’s Sommeliers. As part of the Black Card Experience, you will also be sent home with a parting gift!

If that isn’t enough to make you run out and buy an Emerald 10’s Scratchers ticket, then listen up. This incredible promotion also includes a two-night stay with a spa treatment for two at the beautiful Napa Valley Lodge in Yountville! While the Lodge is only about two blocks away from the restaurant, if you choose, you can be picked up by a car service.

The California Lottery reminds our players to please play responsibly and remember, it’s never OK to play if you’re under 18 years old.

The California Lottery is a $5 billion enterprise based in Sacramento. It is one of the few state agencies that is a revenue generator, not accepting taxpayer dollars. Its mission is to provide supplemental funding to California schools while simultaneously supporting local communities. In FY 2013-14, the Lottery created 89 new millionaires. Ninety-five cents of every dollar spent by our players goes back to local communities in the form of contributions to public schools and colleges, prizes and retail compensation. The California Lottery urges its customers to play responsibly and within their budgets. If you feel you have a gambling problem, or know someone who does, you can get help at 1-800-GAMBLER.
